You don't bet the flop w/Qxhh?

Obv you fold to a push, but you are not betting this flop based on the strength of your draw. You are betting to take it down right away, and the fact that you have a draw is nice b/c you have outs if called, along with a backdoor NFD and possible overcard(s). (I'd probably check this flop with AK but not A8d)

On the turn, your logic is backwards. You DON'T bet the turn b/c you don't want to be blown off a sweet draw, half of which is fairly hidden (flush draw). Your weird line is very exploitable to a good player, although these guys probably aren't very good.
